Just as the table shows, the FOV does get larger. I have not used my 14mm FTR much YET with these EPs but have been pleased so far with everything I have seen. Personally, I will not be buying a 28mm ring and will stack two 14mm rings when necessary. The reason is, 17 and 13mms are too close for me. I will permanently make the 13mm an 11mm. The other ring will be for the 8mm. I can turn it into a 6mm with one ring, or I can pull off the other ring from my 13mm and double up to take the 8 down to a 5mm. Any higher magnification can be done with my 4mm BO/TMB. This seems to cover all of the necessary magnificaitons I would need on most nights with only three EPs. Again, though, I have seen no negative views with these in use, but with more use, I may find aspects I do not like. For now though, I'm quite pleased. Hope all of my EP and FTR switching around, etc. wasn't too confusing! Daniel -------------------- 6" f/8 Bushnell Voyager Dob.
